I assumed it was just “hire more LGBTQIA+ prison guards!” 
It’s worse than that. What I’ve seen recently because of federation is “(verbal performative) support for disadvantaged people as long as they maintain a successful small business in a disadvantaged area for no less than three years and aren’t anywhere to the left of Bernie Sanders!”

I thought I knew what to expect after having experienced a deluge of
takes on platforms like Reddit and Twitter, and yet, I was taken totally aback by some of the unhinged ones I’ve seen on here since the federation. From bog standard accusations of being bots or paid shills for disagreeing with them, to flat out disgusting claims that queer people on Hexbear are not really queer because they’re not liberals.

They are literally the bad guy from 5 years ago EVERY TIME.
Do you want your awfulness fresh: conservative party
Or recycled: every liberal party
Do you prefer the flavour of Conservative Classic, or the fresh new taste of Diet Conservative?
I do have to watch my figure, do you have Diet Caffeine Free ?
Truly terrifying, thanks for that.
All these years of having sex with men just to fool liberals online and they immediately saw through my devilish ruse
Reminder that despite this particular comic being cool, I assure you it’s accidental, the artist is a horrible monster of a piece of shit
Yeah I don’t endorse the artist, just this comic. Much like some garrison work hits correctly but he’s a dick.
I wasn’t calling you out or anything, just saving people the experience or looking for more of their work and being horrified o7

The adults in the room don’t need to think of such things or be vulnerable to contradictory information. Like the heroes in their treats, they were born special and smart and superior.

I came to lemmy early in the reddit exodus, but too many god damn liberals came along and it’s gradually getting worse. Hexbear has the only good anime community, so now I have to have another lemmy account
but too many god damn liberals came along and it’s gradually getting worse
Even their communication style is exhausting. “Ummm, hate to break it to you, hate to be the one to tell you this, but honestly, it’s funny that you’re so (ableist concern trolling here). I’m just saying, who hurt you? Alas, there is no logic or reason to be found here, only an echo chamber.”
It’s that until they get mad then the homophobia comes out
What if Putler and Drumpf gay?
That’s basically what !botart@lemmy.dbzer0.com is (I temporarily unblocked it in order to find the posts I’m talking aboutt), generated images from AI prompts of people they don’t like kissing
CW: homophobia
The first post I saw from it, which made me block it, was
CW: extreme liberalism
I don’t usually block communities, the only other community I’ve blocked so far is !memes@lemmy.ml
What a peculiar focus that reeks of lowkey homophobia

The lib hexbear experience is taking a seat in a cafeteria with a bunch of people to say the worst possible thing imaginable and the whole cafeteria stops to hold you accountable.
FREE SPEECH to edgy liberals means everyone praising their very brave takes.
Their blindness to the violence of their ideology is really something.
i believe this because i’m right because it’s how the world works
They are the grown-ass adults/men in the room that make the hard decisions about what atrocities to enjoy to keep the treats flowing in.
do you know how many Belgian Congo workers DIED to give me this scrumptious morsel? It would be a crime not to enjoy it
:we-dont-have-an-appropriate-treatfiend-emote:
All exploitation under capitalism is exactly the same so any attempt to improve society somewhat must equally apply to all such exploitation!
Hexbear’s communication is like an artisanal dessert with a hard shell of irony/sarcasm coating that breaks to reveal a warm sincerity within, creating an interesting rhetorical flavor profile. The average internet liberal is an easy-bake salty and sour pudding that presents itself as a layer cake they saw on Food Network once.

I don’t like that you described hexbear the way Patrick Batman talks about business cards and Huey Lewis.
Edit: I stand by the typo
Patrick Batman
Had a moment of online culture shock when I recently saw people commenting on how gross eating ass is and assertions that all the talk about it is people being ironic and joking. Someone even had the gall to respond with “haha keep telling yourself that buddy” when someone said that people have been eating ass forever! Have you heard of the romans??
It’s so jarring to suddenly crash into a totally different culture like that. Like you ran into a caveman at the grocery store

In the gulags all labour will be tossing salad
In North Korea they don’t have enough ass to eat for everyone, so they build asses out of mud
Thank you for the daily Yeonmi fact. I’d like to subscribe to the newsletter.
Have these people never heard of plastic wrap?
Oh it’s bad, funny, but eye opening for sure.
Yesterday and today I was told by an enlightened centrist liberal that all work done to survive was only equally exploitative therefore soliciting sex from possibly trafficked people was no different than buying breakfast at a cafe and therefore any regulation or restriction on sex work should be applied to any other transaction.
Oh geez thats gross huh lol.
I spoke against @Civility@hexbear.net because I didn’t humor pedantic bullshit concern trolling questions comparing sex soliciting Johns to people buying breakfast.

Liberals fucking love false equivalencies. It’s the only way their “rules based order” fantasies seem consistent enough to believe in.
You know, like fining someone a life-wrecking amount when they’re poor and having the same fine for the rich where the fine amount is a rounding error.
But say anything about western imperialism/genocides/oppression of minorities, and suddenly it’s all whataboutism

I wonder why there was so much effort to try to elevate each and every product to the same level as cp?

Yeah that thread was wild I could feel the grease oozing from every comment that user made
Lemmy did the turn to shit any% speedrun to become a liberal shithole.
For as much as we get called CPC bots, Putin puppets, etc., the liberals I’ve encountered on here and the 'grad are largely indistinguishable.
It’s obvious they have been spoonfed their worldview by increasingly homogenous mainstream media. They seem to think platitudes and blanket statements should be accepted uncriticalally. They provide no sources or information for their worldview, they just dismiss ours.
I think this problem (in the USA at least) goes deeper than shitty media coverage. The USA has such an anti-intellectual culture. People seem to be unaware of why they even think things.
I used to be guilty of this myself. I remember one of the first doninos for me was when I realized I had no idea why I thought Cuba was an evil place. Then I did some reading and realized I had been lied to.
In my experience, no adult is more vulnerable to propaganda than one that believes they are immune to propaganda, and the United States is loaded with people that believe that while wallowing in unexamined ideology they absorb uncritically.
I really don’t want to think about the timeline we don’t get preemptively dropped from lemmy.world now.

Check out this fucking thread.
I forget that there are still people that deep in delusion
I joined hexbear recently , but so far my time on lemmy/mastodon has been the terrible experience with internet liberals.
We had such a good thing going
No more half measures
We had everything we needed and it all ran like clockwork.
No more half measures
go to your settings and change the default post type to “Local”, you won’t see the bad lib posts anymore unless you want to
We’re glad you found your way here but everyone here is, in fact, a liberal, except for me, the one true leftist.
I just joined as well. I discovered Hexbear from this reaction I saw over on mastodon. I am very happy I did, was fast losing all my hope as that supposedly was the “leftist” corner of the internet. Coming from the big social -> mastodon pipeline I thought it was.
Its kinda weird that there are libs those like my posts over on mastodon , and then i see their posts criticizing hexbear ! Like ugh !!
I still don’t believe in the existence of people actually calling humans “meatbags”. What level of cringe roleplaying are these translucent nerds into?
I see edgy pseudo-intellectual reductionism all the time among some internet people (and some offline people too, unfortunately). It ranges from calling people apes (usually to justify barbaric or coarse behavior under naturalistic fallacies) to numerous pop-nihilistic statements about the offline world being “meatspace” and the people in it being nothing more than “meat computers,” “stochastic parrots,” or whatever other life lessons they picked up from Rick and Morty.
It doesn’t help and it often justifies apathy and neglect toward the suffering of actual living, thinking, feeling people. True cognitohazard, and Hexbear’s had outbreaks of it before.
I like calling it “fleshspace” when I’m interacting in person with someone I generally interact with online or over the phone, because I think it sounds funny, but I also like to think about the viscerality of meeting face to face. It’s entirely different being a body than just a voice online, y’know? I could start bleeding or cough or arouse them.
Flesh hits differently than “meat” for slang. “Meat” is usually said by smug techbro types that see “CYBERSPACE” as some magical realm of digital apotheosis rather than the ever-more-enshittified series of walled gardens it is becoming.
I sometimes like to think in the ape terms but in an affirming and encouraging way. Like “hey, we have a polio vaccine, not bad for a buncha apes”. Or “man, that didn’t go well, but you know, we’re all just apes trying our best, and we’ll do better tomorrow.”
That’s fine. I can see that angle, too.
My issue is when some pop nihilist pulls the ape card for the usual reasons, like excusing horrible actions as “we are all just a bunch of apes” as if that excuses atrocities or even justifies them.

The whole point of the stochastic parrot idea is that AI does not have structures for the abstract composition of novel ideas. It’s statistical pattern recognition all the way down.
I know.
People referring to humans as stochastic parrots is… really missing the point. It’s more than just denying the existence of free will. It’s an incorrect assertion about the structures of the brain.
Yeah and it happened here anyway near the start of the chatbot hype wave, presumably to try to make the chatbots seem more “real” by denigrating living people. It was fucked up.
i thought setting my default to “all” for a little bit might be nice, but holy fuck the libs are annoying. it’s about as bad as the front page of reddit
if you block the memes@lemmy.ml comm, it’s basically just hexbear posts with the occasional big thread from the libs.
